| History | This 'Fire Opal' water lily resembles M. Marliac's 1908 Odalisque also known as 'Opalisque' that was hybridized by Charles Masters during his work with Tricker's in the 1930s. The staff referred to it as Fire Opal because of the wonderful flower description of pinks and orange and relative identification with 'Opalisque', and thus its descriptive name. |
The table below shows the estimated shipping and pick-up weeks for destinations to USA states. These dates can change depending on weather and how strong the plants are at that time.
For example, a wet spring will have many clouds leading to less sunshine. Thus, the plants may need a bit longer to grow strong enough for transplanting and transit. With the planet heating up, a warm spring may help the plants grow strong enough to ship before the dates in this table.
